What impacts your way of thinking? My desire to make the client experience the best it can possibly be. I love to share my passion for our beautiful and unique product.

Favorite Winston Flowers moment: My favorite moments are when clients share with me their Winston Flowers stories. It’s wonderful to hear about how we’ve impacted their lives through being a part of their celebrations. It’s important to me to make personal connections with each client, learn their preferences and have them looking forward to their next visit.

Detail: After years in the hospitality industry, I began my career with Winston Flowers in 2012. I spent two years working with clients on the phone in Client Services—as well as perusing the coolers every day to learn more about our product. I also took that time to get to know the talented team of people that make Winston Flowers the leader in the industry that it is. When I had the opportunity to help out at our flagship store in Chestnut Hill, I knew I had found my home in retail. I soon after transitioned from sales associate to sales team supervisor. It was a natural progression to accept the position of manager at the Newbury Street store when the opportunity presented itself. As the manager of this historic shop on Newbury, I treasure the opportunity to serve our community—we’re right in the heart of the city on the very street where our flower story began over 70 years ago.

What impacts your way of thinking? Collaboration is huge for me—I love connecting with team members and clients, hearing their stories and thoughts, and melding different perspectives into fresh ideas.

Detail: I am over-the-moon excited to be the store manager of our Federal Street location. I feel so lucky to be downtown, connecting with the magic and energy of this historic city. While I was attending grad school in my home state of Oklahoma, I helped to open the very first Anthropologie store there—it was then that I realized I wanted to make retail my career. I relocated to New England this past winter, and after working just outside of Boston, I quickly learned about Winston Flowers and knew that I wanted to work here! I am so passionate about the client experience. What attracted me to the floral industry – and Winston Flowers – is that the gesture of giving flowers is always born of love, care, and thoughtfulness. We get to translate that gesture of love into actual product! I adore making each gift and gesture really shine so it is always received with amazement.

Did you know? I love cooking for friends and family and have taken several professional cooking courses.

Detail: As Director of Retail, I oversee all seven of our retail shops in Massachusetts and Connecticut. I’m also happy to be the Store Manager for Winston Flowers Chestnut Hill. At our flagship location in the heart of Newton, we are privileged to be a longstanding staple of the community, sharing in generations of our clients’ biggest and best life moments. For me, managing our shops means that every day brings new and exciting opportunities to lift a mood, incite a memory or bring a smile to someone's face. This location is special because it is home to our garden nurseries, beautiful year-round greenhouses and display gardens. I share Winston Flowers’ passion for offering the finest product available, presenting it in a creative way that changes with the seasons, and making the client experience truly memorable. One of my favorite parts of the job is identifying talented individuals who feel the same way and developing them into future managers and leaders.

What impacts your way of thinking? Learning new things and meeting new people invigorates me and gives me new opportunities to grow. I am incredibly inspired by the talented people around me.

Favorite Winston Flowers moment: When I walk through the front door of the Concord shop and see the profusion of flowers in front of me and the beauty of the shop, it wows me every time.

Detail: As a lifelong gardener and lover of flowers, I am thrilled to be part of the Winston Flowers team and to be working with such a committed, talented group of people. I spent many years managing creative teams as a television producer and am excited to pursue a new direction by managing the Winston Flowers shop in Concord. As a resident of Concord, I also have the pleasure and privilege of living and working in the same community. Working in the historic Concord Center every day allows me to meet client from my community as well as visitors from around the world. I love when someone walks into our shop to breathe the fresh air and enjoy the beauty of the flowers—you can see the impact immediately. Sharing the bounty and beauty of what Winston Flowers has to offer is a true pleasure.

Favorite season: All seasons offer opportunities in their own special way.

Favorite flower: Lily of the valley and peonies

Favorite Winston Flowers moment: The week of Valentine’s Day at the Design Studio. I’m always delighted by the breathtaking carpet of color… hydrangeas in every shade of blue, purple, pink and cream.

Detail: I began my career with Winston Flowers over 26 years ago, working in several of our retail locations before managing our shop in charming downtown Hingham. Over the years, my dedication has not wavered and I continue to be enthusiastic about our company and the unique floral products we offer. A diverse knowledge of all aspects of Winston Flowers now seems like second nature to me and I enjoy sharing that with our guests. It’s important to me that their experience is memorable and that long lasting relationships are built here: our customers become friends for life in Hingham! I am honored and proud to be a part of this historic seaside community.

Did you know? I hand dyed, printed and constructed a collection of floral dresses for my textile design BFA thesis show.

Favorite Winston Flowers moment: When our shops are transformed for the holiday season; they always tell a different and beautiful story.

Detail: My career began in our Wellesley shop – and after being promoted to manager of our Federal Street shop – I’ve recently returned to my roots in the position of store manager. Spending each day in our lively Wellesley shop is a delight. I’m inspired by the vibrant sense of community here and I enjoy getting to know each client personally. I’m truly passionate about my work and I thrive when interacting with the community, sharing my knowledge with clients and admiring the beautiful floral product that arrives to Winston Flowers daily. I adore being a part of the Winston family—it feels like an extended family of my own. I hope our clients feel the same when they walk through the door of our shop.

What impacts your way of thinking? I believe any experience can color your perspective. I try to learn from past experiences and move to create new and good experiences with what I learn.

Detail: My role here at Winston Flowers has been shaped by my rich background in the theatre arts and years of experience in client relations. Every day in our Greenwich shop is breathtaking—we are privileged to serve the greater NYC community and be a central tenant of the avenue here in Greenwich. My philosophy of service is rooted deeply in personalized creativity and the value of each human connection; it is important to approach every project with positive energy and an eagerness to carry out a client’s vision.
